< תהילים 46 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח עַֽל־עֲלָמוֹת שִֽׁיר׃ אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת נִמְצָא מְאֹֽד׃ | 1 |
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
עַל־כֵּן לֹֽא־נִירָא בְּהָמִיר אָרֶץ וּבְמוֹט הָרִים בְּלֵב יַמִּֽים׃ | 2 |
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
יֶהֱמוּ יֶחְמְרוּ מֵימָיו יִרְעֲשֽׁוּ הָרִים בְּגַאֲוָתוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ | 3 |
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
נָהָר פְּלָגָיו יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר־אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשׁ מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ | 4 |
[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט יַעְזְרֶהָ אֱלֹהִים לִפְנוֹת בֹּֽקֶר׃ | 5 |
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
הָמוּ גוֹיִם מָטוּ מַמְלָכוֹת נָתַן בְּקוֹלוֹ תָּמוּג אָֽרֶץ׃ | 6 |
[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּֽב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַֽעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה׃ | 7 |
But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
לְֽכוּ־חֲזוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם שַׁמּוֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
מַשְׁבִּית מִלְחָמוֹת עַד־קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ קֶשֶׁת יְשַׁבֵּר וְקִצֵּץ חֲנִית עֲגָלוֹת יִשְׂרֹף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ | 9 |
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ כִּֽי־אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים אָרוּם בַּגּוֹיִם אָרוּם בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 10 |
[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּֽב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה׃ | 11 |
[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
